5 Institutional Narrative Founded in 1855, Kean University was the first public post-secondary institution in New Jersey. In its role as a normal school for training teachers and principals for the City of Newark, the institution graduated many of the first generation of professionally trained schoolteachers in New Jersey. In 1958, the institution s mission expanded from its original, single purpose to become a comprehensive undergraduate institution. Today, the University s enrollment ranks third among the public and private colleges and universities in New Jersey. In 1957, the college relocated to a site purchased from the Kean family estate in the Township of Union. Sixteen years later, the institution s name was changed from Newark State College to Kean College of New Jersey. On September 26, 1997, the Commission on Higher Education granted university status to our institution. Last year the University successfully started its first doctoral program in Urban Leadership, and this year, the University s second doctoral program, Psy.D. in School and Clinical Psychology is to start operation in the fall. Our undergraduate programs, which include disciplines in the liberal arts, natural sciences, social sciences, health professions, applied sciences, visual arts, performing arts, and teacher education, are housed in five colleges. The Nathan Weiss College of Graduate Studies administers the graduate programs, which range from education to public administration to nursing. Kean s faculty is recognized for teaching excellence, scholarship and service. Kean University continues to respond to the major demographic and social changes in the New Jersey metropolitan area. With one of the most multicultural student populations in the state, exceptional academic support programs have been developed that respond to the requirements of an increasingly diverse undergraduate and graduate student population. Kean University is positioning itself to meet the changing educational and developmental needs of the future. We remain committed to a mission that provides access, opportunity and affordability to New Jersey s students and citizens. Kean University is proud of its tradition of service to the community and commitment to scholarship and teaching. We will continue to build on this distinguished history as we plan for the future. Dawood Y. Farahi, Ph.D. President August 2009 i

Students completing their associate's degree can continue on with their study for a Kean bachelor's degree with Kean courses offered on the OCC campus. Kean also offers courses at OCC for master's degrees for those already holding a bachelor's degree. Kean bachelor's degrees are being offered at OCC in Accounting, Biology, Computer Science, Criminal Justice, Elementary Education, English, History, Management Science, Marketing, Nursing, Physical Education and Health, Public Administration, Sociology and Special Education. Students who have already completed their associate's degrees will have their OCC courses evaluated on a case-by-case basis and matched as closely as possible to the requirements for Kean degrees. Students newly entering OCC may follow in advance detailed program guide sheets that specify the exact OCC courses to take for fulfilling the requirements of both their OCC associate's degrees and their Kean bachelor's degrees. Kean is also offering master's degrees at OCC in Counselor Education in Counselor Education (with State certification for school counseling) and Educational Leadership (with State certification for supervisor and principal) as well as in Nursing (options in Clinical Management and School Nursing), and Business Administration (the Executive MBA program). More Kean programs are continuously being added. The bachelor's program in Graphic Design is scheduled to be offered beginning with the Spring 2010 semester, and other programs will follow. Within the next few years, Kean will build a full campus of its own immediately adjacent to the OCC campus. Until then, Kean classes will be held in OCC classrooms, and Kean will provide administrative, academic, and student services through cooperative arrangements with OCC offices providing equivalent services.

30 Articulation Agreements A major goal of Higher Education in the State of New Jersey is to have all colleges and universities make it possible for students to transfer (articulate) from one college to another for the purpose of completing a program of study or degree as expeditiously as possible. In addition to special programs with other colleges and universities, Kean University honors the State of New Jersey's Full-Faith-and-Credit policy, the new statewide transfer legislation and agreement, and continues to work with the two-year college sector through the New Jersey Transfer Project. Students graduating from a New Jersey State county college with an A.A. or A.S. degree may be admitted as juniors provided that all transfer admission requirements have been met. Kean University has a joint degree program in Health Information Management with the University of Medicine and Dentistry (UMDNJ) in Newark. Students complete the general education requirements at Kean and then apply (in the spring semester of their second year) to UMDNJ for the professional phase of the program during the final two years of study. Upon completion, students receive a joint bachelor s degree from Kean University and UMDNJ. The total length of the program is 4 years. Kean University, Drexel University College of Medicine and St. Peter's University Hospital have formed a partnership offering a Bachelor of Science/Medical Degree (B.S./M.D.) Scholars Program to highly qualified undergraduate students. Students in this B.S./M.D. Scholars Program embark on an integrated study of chemistry, biology, physics and mathematics in their freshman and sophomore year. Students then continue with upper level coursework concentrating in the biomedical sciences, including a pre-professional internship in junior and senior years where they experience medicine alongside physicians at St. Peter's University Hospital in New Brunswick, NJ. Students in this 4+4 linkage, which is a flat rate tuition program, must apply through Kean University s New Jersey Center for Science, Technology & Mathematics Education (NJCSTME) and upon completing their B.S. in Science & Technology degree, enter the first year medical school class at Drexel College of Medicine. Medical students return to St. Peter's University Hospital for at least one third year clerkship and at least one fourth year rotation. The following is a list of colleges with which Kean University has made articulation agreements: Atlantic Cape Community College Berkeley College Brookdale Community College Camden County College County College Of Morris Essex County College Hudson County College Middlesex County College Mercer County College Ocean County College Passaic County Community College Raritan Valley Community College Southern New Jersey CIM Consortium Union County College Warren County Community College Source: NJCSTME & Academic Affairs, Kean University 2009 Joint Admission Agreements Students from New Jersey County Colleges, that have signed joint admission agreements, may be admitted to Kean University by the respective county college. (The admission is to the University, not to a major program.) The program is designed to strengthen the academic and support partnership between the two-year college sector and Kean University.
